Love at First Sight?

Karl might have been right those days when he thought no one could love him back on first sight. He was however decided: the only way to find out whether one can love another is to love another. He had to give a try at erotic love. There was wasn't anyone who seemed to look at him. At last he found his missing rib. It was those early days when he was a freshman in the university . His mother had told him that the university would give him opportunities for him to uncover his manhood. The moment seemed to be nearer. On Monday of his second week in the lecture hall, his eyes couldn't resit looking at Claire. She was the most beautiful in her college and all boys wanted to have a glimpse her smile, if not, of her love. When she met Karl, she noticed something different about him. Although he looked shabby as compared to his mates, his sense of humour was that type that would capture just any damsel. Of course, Claire couldn't resist. Karl's erotic journey commenced. He approached Claire and asked her,

"Hello pretty. Would you mind if I sat here with you?" "Yes, handsome, She responded, with her charming eyes turning on her face as if they were trapping someone.

Karl sat close to her and for close to ten minutes, he was hallucinating and rehearsing what he would tell her. The thoughts shifted from, "please, can I know your name?" to "you're beautiful and I would like to know you more." confused on what to say, he sat there dumbfounded. Before his lips could form letters for him to pronounce, Claire had sensed his desires and had wrapped herself on him, as though they'd know each other for decades. He muted to himself," There's nothing to fear. She's wholesome, beautiful, and I know she's righteous." His eyes blazed with savage fire when he looked at her. Claire declared that she liked him! These were words he'd never heard from anyone but his mother. His heart asserted itself ag ain,

thunderously beating because he thought it was a dreamy world. Claire noticed his speechlessness and gave her her card so that he could call her afterwards. The time for lectures arrived and both walked to class, promising to get in touch.

The whole of that day, he didn't focus in class. Lectures were muaahahas in his ears. He was waiting for the day to end so that he could muster courage and tell Claire exactly how he felt. If he didn't do that, another boy could and he wouldn't fund another Claire.

At the end of the day, he approached Claire and before he could say a word, her father arrived with his car to take her away. The only thing Karl heard was, "We've changed your school. You'll no more be here." He stood there bemused as they drove off.

He didn't return to the house that day because he thought his world was falling apart. That's when he went through the town to spend some time. The people there looked like ghosts to him. When he remembered the card Claire had given, he sent his hands in his pockets and discovered that the card was missing. That was all about the card. That was all about Claire. His mind was dazed and wandering in a mist of weird memories as he walked to the house, promising himself never to fall in love at first sight.
